Android Browser with proxy

Which browser does support proxies?

March 8, 2019 – 04:15 pm

As pointed out by Al's comment above, it's not a question of which browser does support it, but rather of how to enable it. And as Sachin's comment suggests, available solutions depend on whether your device is rooted (more and better possibilities) or not.

non-rooted devices

As long as it's for the browser only, there are multiple easy solutions. So does e.g. HTTP Proxy Settings give you access to the hidden HTTP Proxy settings the Android system itself has available. For more than browsers, ASProxy might be a choice - but it's not for free. It even provides a by-pass for e.g. local networks - so you can decide which addresses are routed via proxy, and which can be accessed directly.

rooted devices

Individual proxy for only one or several apps

Bind configuration to WIFI's SSID / Mobile Network (2G / 3G)

Widgets for quickly switching on/off proxy

Low battery and memory consumption (written in C and compiled as native binary)
